KE-RA-ME-JA
Studies Presented to Cynthia W. Shelmerdine
edited by Dimitri Nakassis, Joann Gulizio and Sarah A. James
Ke-ra-me-ja is a woman’s name that appears on a Linear B tablet from Knossos. It means “potter”, and combines two major strands of Cynthia Shelmerdine’s scholarly pursuits: Mycenaean ceramics and Linear B texts. The essays presented to her in this volume demonstrate that her research has had a wide-ranging influence.
Ke-ra-me-ja is a woman’s name that appears on a Linear B tablet from Knossos. It means “potter” (Κεράμεια, from Greek κέραμος, “potter’s clay”) and combines two major strands of Cynthia Shelmerdine’s scholarly pursuits: Mycenaean ceramics and Linear B texts. It thereby signals her pioneering use of archaeological and textual data in a sophisticated and integrated way. The intellectual content of the essays presented to her in this volume demonstrate not only that her research has had a wide-ranging influence, but also that it is a model of scholarship to be emulated.
